Creating a Transaction File or Session Profile File 

If you press  Create File the following screen appears:


            

Every Transaction File and Session Profile file must have a tt_body_type
record as its first entry and this screen prompts you for values for all
of its modifiable fields.  Tab through the fields typing the relevant
values in each and then press  Append Complete.  If you are using the
User Intrinsics or creating a Session Profile file, the screen shown
below will not be displayed, so skip over the instructions given here.
If you are using the Gateway Intrinsics and are creating a Transaction
File, the following screen appears:


            

This screen is used to specify whether you are using foreign address
aliases or explicit foreign addresses and, if so, the length of these
fields in bytes.  You may:

   *   Type the name of the Session Profile file containing the 100100
       transaction type record which gives foreign address information,
       in the Session Profile field.

   *   Type the length of your foreign address aliases or explicit
       foreign addresses in the Option 1 Length field.  If you use both
       foreign address aliases and explicit foreign addresses, type the
       length of the explicit foreign address in the Option 2 Length
       field.

Press  Profile Entered.  The following screen appears:


            

Continue creating your required Transaction File by typing the number of
the next record you want entered in it (for example, 5000) then pressing  
Type No.  Entered.  The Transaction File Editor will not allow you to add
transaction types in the wrong order, for example, a Group 2 transaction
type after a Group 3 transaction type.  If you decide to add a Group 2
transaction type after you have added a Group 3 transaction type, you
will have to add the Group 2 transaction type in its correct place once
you have finished the create, by editing the file.  This is explained
later in this chapter.


NOTE  If you use both foreign address aliases and explicit foreign
      addresses, the creation of transaction types 10000, 20400, 21000,
      21100, 21200, 21300, 30200 and 30400 differs from normal.  There is
      not enough room on the screen to show the Additional user
      information (Option 2):  field.  Once you have completed the fields
      shown on the first screen, press  Append Complete.  A screen
      appears containing the Additional user information (Option 2):
      field.  Complete this and press  Append Complete.  The process then
      continues normally as described below.


Continue creating transaction types until the file is complete.  Then
press  No More Appends at the screen where you are prompted for the next
transaction type number.  The function keys at the bottom of your screen
change.  Press  Save Changes.  You are prompted for the name you want to
give the file you have just created.  Type this; if you do not want the
file to be stored in the sign on group and account you will have to give
this information too.  Press  Filename Entered.  Your Transaction File is
saved and you are returned to the initial Transaction File Editor screen.
